The geostationary satellite propulsion system has thermistors which can measure liquid propellant temperature at tanks, pipes and etc. In the satellite propulsion system with several tanks, the propellant in the tanks is moved by temperature change and this temperature pattern is constant. In this paper, the temperature change pattern of KOREASAT 1 propulsion system is compared and the prediction study of pressurant inflow using temperature change of geostationary satellite propulsion system is described.

In this paper, a high gain waveguide array antenna combining horn antenna on slot radiator was designed. And the fabricated antenna showed enough gain, improved efficiency and broadband characteristics for receiving satellite signals, compare to conventional microstrip antenna which has dielectric loss and radiation loss on transmission line. For easy fabrication, the waveguide structure was composed by 3-stages of radiator, signal coupler and transmission line. By experiment, the array waveguide antenna of 4 by 16 showed 28.3[dBi] gain and 2:1 of VSWR. And by combining horn antenna structure, the gain was increased 1[dB]. The received signal from Koreasat 6 by measurement showed 16[dBc] of C/N on BS(Broadcasting Satellite)-band and 14[dBc] of C/N on CS(Communication Satellite)-band.

A fluid transient analysis on the Koreasat 1 & 2 pipeline system is conducted through numerical parametric studies in which unsteady friction results are compared with quasi-steady friction results and show relatively accurate prediction of the response curve with the unsteady friction. The code developed and used in this analysis has finished verification through comparing with the original Zielke model, the full and recursive convolution model and quasi-steady model as a reference. The unsteady friction is calculated by the recursive convolution Zielke model in which a complete evolution history of velocity field is no longer required so that it makes the fluid transient analysis on the complicated system possible. The results show that the application of quasi-steady friction to model cannot predict the entire response curve properly except the first peak amplitude but the application of unsteady friction to model can predict reasonably the response curve, therefore it is to know the characteristics of the propulsion system.

The purpose of this paper is to predict Sun Transit Outage phenomenon(Sunout). Sunout had been studied mainly for the case of Geostationary satellite and under the assumption of 'Quiet Sun'. In this paper, we predict sunout phenomenon more precisely for non-geostationary orbit as well as geostationary orbit and specially we considered the degree of solar activity. And we compare the result of the case of C-band and Ku-band. Also the result is applied to the two KoreaSat communication system through calculating the link budget.

In this paper, roll/yaw attitude control of spacecraft using a double gimbaled wheel is discussed with two feedback controllers designed. One is a PD controller with no phase difference between roll and yaw control input. The other is a PD controller with a phase lag compensator about the yaw control input. The phase lag compensator is designed as a first order system and a lag parameter is designed for the yaw angle control. There are two case simulations for each controller ; constant disturbance torques and initial errors of nutation at motion. We obtain the results through simulations that steady-state error and rising time of yaw angle are determined by the compensator. Simulation parameters used in this study are the values of KOREASAT F1.

In this paper an elliptic response dual-mode 4-pole bandpass filter was designed, manu-factured, and tested. A dual-mode filter having two stages cascaded double-tuned cavities which are resonant in two independent orthogonal TE113 circular-cavity modes and provide a bandpass response. A 4-pole dual-mode elliptic function bandpass filter has a center frequency of 14.022 GHz with a bandwidth of 36 MHz which is the first channel of the KOREASAT up-link frequency. The measured experimental results of a dual-mode filter are 1 dB insertion loss in the passband and 20 dB out-of-rejection.

A fluid transient analysis for the propellant flow in a monopropellant propulsion system is conducted by using the method of characteristics(MOC). It reviews algebraic simultaneous equations method and Cramer's rule method utilized to drive the compatible and characteristic equations to understand MOC extensively. The identification of fluid transient phenomena of propulsion system of Koreasat 1 is carried out through parametric studies. The valve response time is one of the dominant parameters governing the fluid transient phenomena. The results show that the shorter closing time induces the greater pressure response amplitude. And it shows that the installation of in-line orifice is effectively to limit the fluid transients in rapid valve response time and at high pressure. But it seems that the effect of orifice weakens at slow valve response time and at low pressures.

In this study, potential Communication Satellite Application Services (CSASs) that are suitable for our communication environment have been identified through a detailed analysis of the CSASs offered in advanced countries. The existing demand forecast based on the defined CSAS category has been improved, and the transponder assignment policy has also been recommended. Managerial problems rather than technical ones for KOREASAT project have mainly been addressed and tackled in this study. For the successful implementation of the domestic communication satellite system, these two problems should be solved simultaneously. Therefore, future research that includes technical as well as managerial issues is expected to come out soon.
